Determine the gas pressure, in lbf/in². Express the pressure as a gage or a vacuum pressure, as appropriate, in lbf/in 2.
As shown in the figure, an inclined manometer is used to measure the pressure of the gas within the reservoir. The manometer fluid is mercury, which has a density of 845lb/ft3. The manometer fluid rises a distance d=15 inches along the manometer tube, which is inclined ?=40? from the horizontal. The atmospheric pressure is 14.7lbf/in2 and the acceleration of gravity is 32.2ft/s2.
